This easy-breezy shrimp ceviche recipe is the best dish for the end of summer. Cool, light, and refreshing, it is made with just a few simple, ocean-friendly ingredients creating a flavor explosion for your tastebuds.
When it comes to wild shrimp, my go-to is Del Pacifico Shrimp. Based out of Mexico, they work in close collaboration with artisanal fishers and give them a fair chance to compete in the global seafood market, which is dominated by industrial fishing. They’re also the first shrimp company in the world to receive the Fair Trade USA certification, which means they check all of the boxes when it comes to labor, trade, and responsible environmental practices.
But my “secret sauce” for this shrimp ceviche comes from the additional umami in the kelp puree. Fresh cooked shrimp, crisp veggies, and buttery avocado are all tossed together with an ingredient working hard to restore our ocean water.
Now THAT that is a great dish for the climatarian in all of us!
